Are Employers Doing Enough to Support Women’s Menstrual and Reproductive Health?

Women want their employers to be more supportive when it comes to their menstrual and reproductive health.

Menstrual and reproductive health problems are common: including painful periods and menstruation, hormonal imbalances, pregnancy, miscarriage, baby loss, and fertility complications. 15% of women have a menstrual condition such as endometriosis, PCOS, PMDD, fibroids.* 36% of women feel that their employers are not supportive in health matters including endometriosis, fertility, menopause and periods.*

These conditions can have a significant impact on well-being and performance at work. There is an urgent need to raise awareness of symptoms, and for employers to improve training and support.
